this wont lead to nothing. Just some stupid showmanship.

However, Columbia nwas wrong to violate international borders.

It's not that simple, regional and world powers violate borders quite frequently. It's Columbia pulling it's unilateral military action against terrorism card.

• The US and Russia go into other countries all the time.
• UN norms of international law have shown that they won't act when incursions are done in the name of (edit: anti-)terrorism.
• The UK, Germany and the US all backed Isreal when they bombed Beruit.
• Turkey is currently deployed in Northern Iraq fighting Kurdish Rebel-Terrorists.
• African Union deployed in Sudan against the will of the Sudanese Gov't.

Will it be a traditional war? Probably not, but will it lead to more Ecuadorian and Venezuelan support for rebels? Most definitely.
